Wood You Believe It? ~ Round 5

There are only two root-creatures left. These have been engaged by Embla and Valda, so they turn away from Pandred and her difficulties, to attack the other two women.

A 2 is rolled against Valda, missing.

Against Embla the creature in 0509 rolls an 18. This certainly hits. Embla gets off lucky, however, taking but 3 damage. Since she has 17 hit points before the hit, she isn't stunned. This leaves the present arrangement:

Willa is loaded and may fire. Petar can start loading this round. No one is stunned, so everyone can act.

I'll have Fjall move up into hex 0410 and attack the rootbeast in 0409 along with Valda, while Lothar moves to hex 0510 and attacks the rootbeast in 0509. Bergthora will move around to hex 0408, using all of her AP to get there.

You and Pandred have the same dexterity ~ but Pandred is only one hex away from 0510, so I'm putting her there. Would you like to give me a different move? Also, Valda's attack? Fjall's attack on 0409 is a miss. I'm discounting Lothar's roll, so if you have a different attack, roll again.

Pandred,

That is a hit. It stuns 0509.

Engelhart,

That is no problem; you and Embla both have the same dexterity, so you start simultaneously together. It is fair for you to wait for her.

I'm not overly thrilled with the skipping back and forth for two people to attack the same monster from the same hex in the same round, particularly in a tight space like the one depicted ~ it is somewhat like watching the Lords of the Dance ~ but there is no rule against it at the present time nor any justification for such a rule that I can think to concoct. So yes, Lothar, you may jump into 0510 and attack.

[clearly, the encumbrance rules are simply not harsh enough ~ but I said I would let those ride for some months and I will]
